I'll tell you straight up, this has been a fantastic forum to share and discuss NES pixel art. The people here know what they are talking about and understand the artistry involved, and I have gotten great feedback.

But this is a forum dedicated to the NES. It's not the kind of place to really show off traditional art, or get feedback on art I'm making for a more modern game. I mean, the folks here are great and I probably could get some good feedback on my other art, but still, I am looking to find a good community focused more on that sort of thing.

Does anyone know of a good place to share and review art?I can only get so much feedback from sharing things with the same three friends, and their feedback is rather limited because they aren't really *artists* who understand what I'm really working against or working toward.I can post stuff on Deviant Art, but its so massive that you can't get noticed unless you are already good at it.Since I am making art for gaming projects, I would imagine that I could find some more general game design boards out there, but I'm not sure where to look. The last one that was really helpful dried up a few years ago (and now the original founder is dying of cancer.)I know I could do a google search, but I'd take a good personal recommendation over a dozen search results.

I strongly suggest The Artist's Corner subforum of the Penny-Arcade forums. There are a lot of long-standing regulars, many of whom joined in school and now have successful jobs in the field. The tone and mentality there is very much critique-oriented, and they heavily prioritize the posting of work in progress instead of completed pieces. The forums have also taken on a life of their own, independent of the comic, which many posters don't even read.

It's a surprisingly great community for artists. As long as you go in with a "how can I improve?" mentality instead of a "Hey, guys. Check out my art." one, you'll get a warm response and likely tons of useful feedback. They also have a lot educational resources linked as well as challenges and exercises for improvement
